Hello everybody,
Please pass this on to your friends and colleagues. It is a matter of
international concern and we need your help urgently.
This is about a critically endangered animal. It is found in the UK and
as far as we know it is found in just two places on earth, both in
Plymouth , UK. It isn't a Tiger, or a Panda, or a Condor. It is
something much rarer than those.
It is a tiny spider that is being threatened by a proposed housing
development in a quarry in Plymouth UK.
It is going to a planning inspector in just a few days time.
The link below provides extra information and tells you what you can do
to help.
The American naturalist William Beebe had something relevant to say
about this situation.
"The beauty and genius of a work of art may be reconceived, though its
first material expression be destroyed; a vanished harmony may yet again
inspire the composer; but when the last individual of a race of living
beings breathes no more, another heaven and another earth must pass
before such a one can be again."

It really doesn't matter where in the world you are. Indeed responses
from people outside the UK will only emphasise the importance of the case.
Remember, extinction is forever!
